    "Not by C.H. but still worth the listen"
    Would you listen to Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me again? Why?

    Yes, and I have. It's not written or narrated by Chelsea Handler but the stories are funny and very "so something Chelsea would do/say/create". It is (as the title announces) a collection of lies Chelsea has told her coworkers, family, and friends at different times about different things. It is narrated by these people in Chelsea's life and is entertaining and funny.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    As I've answered in other books that were actually written by Chelsea Handler, Chelsea Handler is my answer for this book as well. Who wouldn't love a crazy, hillarious sociopathic liar?


    What aspect of the narrators’s performance would you have changed?

    There is a brief section at the end of each chapter that is in fact written by Chelsea Handler that addresses the events/lies in the chapter that precedes it that isn't narrated by Chelsea Handler. I'm not clear on the reason for this choice, but I think it would have greatly enhanced and personalized the book as a whole if C.H. had of narrated these sections.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    No extreme reactions...I did laugh and it was out loud but there weren't any life changing events that were revealed in this collection of stories except that Chelsea Handler loves to lie for absolutely no reason....but we already knew that from her own books.


    Any additional comments?

    I've read several reviews on this book, attacking it for being deceptive on the contents since the cover shows Chelsea Handler and she is listed as an author. I don't really understand these attacks, I went into the book without this assumption... Overall the book was good, I'm glad each person narrated their own chapter, that made it personal and unique. I think it could have been better if it had featured C.H. narrating the chapter comments herself, it would have tied the book together and made it a more personal experience. Other than that, it was a solid book and I'd recommend it to Chelsea Handler fans.

    Love the book, The woman never ceases to amaze me, even though I would have loved for her to read this herself, it was still pretty darn funny! Looking forward to more books!

    "Book not read by Chelsea"

    Great stories but no one can tell her stories like Chelsea. While funny it misses the mark in a few occasions

    "Almost unbelievable."

    Great read. Although parts of narrative are obviously enhanced, l suppose that is literary license.

    "this was a horrible book!"

    I had to stop listening to it because it was sickening to hear how horribly violating Chelsea is to her friends, family, and coworkers. I did not find anything she does to people she knows funny or even interesting. The only reason I purchased it was because several people I know say that she is "hilarious"...I did not find anything about her even remotely funny.

    It was really sad to hear what people closest to her are willing to tolerate just to be near her or associated with her in anyway. It was disgusting. I regret to have wasted my money on this very sad tale of how she violates others and gets away with it, legally and otherwise. I hope that at the very least, the royalties for this "piece" goes to her victims and none to her.

    I will never recommend anything about her to anyone other than those who want to study people with deviant behaviors.

    "Really?!!"

    I adore Chelsea Handler...on TV anyway. What a dissapointment. After I downloaded it, a friend said she wished she'd warned me. She said (and she was right) this is a poor account of immature mean spirited acts supposedly by CH. It doesn't roll out as funny or interesting...just kinda mean. I just kept saying, "wow, what an uncool thing to do to someone." Why would you want a book like this to come out? Sorry, Chels...I would've bought anything from you...not now. This book sort of weirded me out.

    "Hilarious"

    Absolutely hilarious. Really wish Chelsea would have lended her talents, but everyone else is voiced by their actual selves. First-hand experiences told by writers, and those in the late-night shenanigans of this comedy group.

    You probably know already if you're going to get this or not. If you're interested in a first-listen to the life of Chelsea Handler, you should probably start elsewhere.

    "some major coslopus!"

    A must read/listen for those of us who love to laugh! I enjoy Chelsea Handler's crude, dry and honest humor. The form in which this book was written is spectacular for listening. You can share in the real life humiliation of other people while they share the story of how it happened. Thank god for people like Chelsea Handler who have the coslopus to actually do unto others for the sake of entertainment. Thanks to all authors who had me rolling in laughter the whole time.
